Free Snacking: MadeGood Part 2

Remember the mini MadeGood cookies (with the hidden “vegetables” but really it’s just vegetable extracts) that we had last month? More importantly, do you remember their 15% sale they had for Allergy Awareness month? I’m a sucker for a sale and really liked those cookies, so here we are, back again. 

2Made2Good: Not Just Cookies This Time

Chocolate drizzled granola bars? Regular sized cookies? CHEDDAR CRACKERS SHAPED LIKE STARS?! It's all my allergen friendly dreams come true!


Crackers

First thing in the cart were crackers. They have “cheddar” flavored crackers and they are the first flavored cracker that I have found without dreaded garlic powder! Ordering them online, you can only get a 6 pack of them… but online shipping is no risk, no reward. Last year, my daughter’s only breakdown at the grocery store was when all she wanted was Goldfish (“I WANT THE FISHIES, MOMMY! THE FISHIES!”) and every kind of them had milk (even the pretzels! Why are they putting milk in the pretzel fish?). She was too young to understand why I couldn't get that type of cracker for her. I had to get out of the snack aisle immediately and she was not allowed back to the grocery store until she was older.

These star crackers, though? Safe! Fun! Kind of taste like goldfish! I’m assuming the cheddar flavor is from nutritional yeast, though it is not specifically listed on the ingredient list. I think I like them more than my kid, but whoever eats them, I’m glad we have 6 bags of them.

Granola Bars

I (obviously) opted for the chocolate drizzled granola bars (I mean... why would anyone not?). They are a little hard to eat for my youngest, but my five year old loves them. They taste almost exactly like a Chewy granola bar. Granola seems like an easy target to make without the top 9 allergens, since it’s mostly oats. They just have to stay away from nuts and use dairy free chocolate, and you've got yourself a tasty snack.

Cookies

Last time, we got the mini, soft baked cookies from the store; online they only had packs of their crunchy cookies. We got vanilla, chocolate chip, and double chocolate. Guys. I’m just gonna say it. They were the best allergen free cookies we tried (and we tried a lot). They had no weird after taste. The texture was just like any crunchy regular cookie. We tried the vanilla and it was delicious! Then the chocolate chip and it was great, too. Then the double chocolate... was also great! I don’t even know which one was the best. They are all great! The only problem has been my lack of self control. I could sit at the couch and eat an entire bag by myself. And, no amount of vegetable extract would make me feel okay after eating an entire bag of cookies.

 

MadeGood! It looks like you are the winner of Free Snacking. I didn't know it was a competition, but here's your blue ribbon and gold medal and all of my money.
